Foral started in late 2006, intended to be a clean, sober, and versatile slab serif typeface. It ended up taking almost 4 years in the making, working on and off, back and forth. Because it took this long, it became a kind of a background project, with letter forms slowly being sculpted. It started as a rigid and geometric design, but during this long period it developed into a more organic and balanced typeface, as it moved away from the initial modularity.
Foral maintains its geometric concept, but with harmonised proportions and polished forms.
